Our guide informed us all of the pieces in the museum were purchased by local businessperson Don Kole, who also purchased the building to display the art. The building currently displays about sixty percent of his collection.
The collection is very large and extensive, and one can easily spend one or two hours in this museum. Our tour guide explained the meaning and purpose of many the artifacts, in addition to telling us interesting background stories to explain the origin of the art. There is no cost to view the collection, and it is an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours in Savannah.
This was a very interesting and insightful visit to the Savannah African Art Museum. This new museum displays art from twenty-two African countries throughout its two levels. A visit to this museum is truly personal, as all visitors receive a guided tour from one of the museum volunteers.
Great tour! Very informative... cultural pieces gathered from all over Africa. Enlightening facts about the culture, ideals of importance, and beliefs.
